Not at all phased by the Chad Warner news. As well as he plays, he seems like a knob that I'd rather not be playing for Freo.

Our midfield would do better to include guys like Murphy Reid, build up others such as Cooper Simpson and have Youngey and Driz to be the attacking midfielders.

Other than that - we'd pay a hefty price and if we're any chance to get picket then we're sacrificing future development through loss of draft potential and slumping long-term ala West Coast.
 
Tasmania will be sniffing around him end of 2027 too. The leverage for contracts ending 2027 is massive.

For Fremantle, that is:
Caleb Serong, Heath Chapman, Luke Ryan, Murphy Reid, Alex Pearce, Cooper Simpson, Brandon Walker, Josh Draper

If I'm Tasmania I'm keeping an eye on Chapman, Draper and expecting Serong to sign an extension like Hayden Young within the next month to take up that Chad Warner money and extend him out to 2033.

Alternatively, we could throw that Warner money at Bontempelli haha

I don't think it's a bad result for anyone, West Coast included.
They can't afford to be giving up high picks right now, so this leaves it open to him joining them in a couple of years when they'll still have heaps of salary space.

Equally things might change for us with player movement, or they might not.

It brings us back into the Chad race with them whereas if he left this year we were well behind. So in that sense it's very bad for them. If they're still rubbish in 2 years you'd think we might even be favourites
 
Optimistic.

He keeps doing what he’s doing and we’re going to need more points so we don’t go into deficit for Robinson in 2026
Whan's still not in any top 25 mock Ive seen.

Plenty of potential draftees are dominating underage Colt level more than him. I still dont see him higher than pick 20ish.

With 4 rounders unable to be used now its predicted many of the draft experts including twomey expect 3rd rounders to climb in live trading after the bidding occurs for early picks as many teams requiring points are predicted to trade away their 1st rounders for multiple 2nds and early 3rds. Having the Richmond 3rd is massive in being able to match for Whan.

More money for the Bont
 
Gave away 10,11,18 for Shai Bolton and Murphy Reid. You might be the only one unhappy with that.
When i said i wasnt sure about giving away 3 first round picks i meant Kozzy, not Bolton, it was a typo!

Im not unhappy with the Bruce/ Shai for three first round picks.
 
As a noted big trade detractor, especially Jackson, going through and looking at the trades and the players picked it's not as bad as you think.

Bolton was effectively done for a late first plus an early second when you consider the swaps and Reid.

Jackson more costly but still a bit of a wash when you consider where the picks fell. Just bugs me we are year 3 of him and still not sure what his best position is, but that is mainly an injury issue.
Ffs .. I have Scottish heritage so am excessively tight fisted & a pessimist to boot 😜
Kossie for a late second rounder & 150 gs.

100% wrong about him as a person
Brilliant guy

It’s really 2 first round picks.

11>14 points difference means pick 18 moves up to around 15.

Therefore it is 10,15 before academy and compo etc.
 
Oh well, we'll likely have better capital for Warner in a couple of years, would still love him at the club, he's a top 10 player in the league in my opinion.
